Hi and was wondering if anyone has had this particular hair treatment "thermal reconditioning" (also called Japanese straightening) I have bulky, loose but not kink curls. It was recommended for my hair type and was wanting some help on anyones thoughts or experiences. Thanks!!!

I know very little about it other than it is a reverse perm and a heck of a lot nicer and safer on the hair. Visit the website in the image above and ask them about it. I am sure they will be able to answer our questions best.

The process can take up to eight hours the first time (depending on length and thickness); touch-ups require three to four hours. For three days after the treatment, you can't get your hair wet or do anything kink inducing (like wear a ponytail), and while your hair will now be sleek and shiny (even after air-drying), you're left with one styling option: bone-straight. Even curling irons or hot rollers won't restore volume or wave. Cost: $500 to $1,500. It is far safer than Brazilian straightening but costs double.
